People think I’m crazy when they find out I plan to run a marathon. They are correct. However, I believe anyone can run a marathon, or do anything for that matter, with the right motivation.

My motivation for running is my son. He asks me every morning, “Are you going to run today?” When I pick him up from school in my running clothes he tells his friends, “My mommy runs REALLY far!” How could I let him down?

Find what motivates you in your everyday life. Everything we do, we do it for a reason. Whether it be running a marathon, going to work or simply getting out of bed in the morning. That reason or motivation may be small or great but use it to your advantage.
